IN MEMORIAM
The class of '27 of the
,\eademy sincerely regrets the
death of ~Ia r ian Green, one of
onr classmates. In the two years
she was with us. she became very
dear to all, not only IlCCause of
her exrraordinary physical beauty
hut also because of her heautiful
qualities of character, Her 111\­timely
death shocked and gr ieved
liS all and we wish to extend our
~ymp.1thy to the herea\·ed. :\Iay
we also say that our thoughts as
well a~ our prayers go with her.
It was with deep regret that
we heard of the de-ath of Mar­garet
Darcy's father. We wish
to extend to her and to her
family am sincere sympathy in
their berea\"emellt. It is consol­ing
to them to know that now,
after the faithful execution of
his duties. he has gone to reap hi~
sure reward. Before he set Ollt
all his errand of kind charity
th. ·.\ 1 night, he with his whole
family reci ted the Rosary. How
heautiful a preparation for the
call that came so une;,:pectedly 1

WHAT DOES LENT MEAN TO YOU?
Let liS pause for a moment in \hi!> helter ~kelter bustle of lif(',
let liS r~ol1e<:t for a 1l10ment who we arc and where we are going­for
it is tent, Solemnly the church hells ring out the message,
"Remember lllan that dust thOl1 art and unto dust tholl shalt
return,"
Now once again is the time to ~Iart raking over tno:;c dend
lca\'es in the garden of our soul in prepamtion for the coming:
of spring and of God, Now is the time to plow up the rocky
soil and make it soft and fertile by the tears of repentence, to
uproot the weeds that have groWIl there Ihrough llC',.:lect. 10
plant in their :.tead the seeds of virtue and to snrround Ollr tin_
garden with a sturdy wall of faith and self ,lenia!. -
Xow i~ the time to do all these things hm we cannot do th~m
by delay nor empty promises nor petty triRes. It S01.lIlds very
fine to say, "O! I'd IMe to go to )'I;bs e\'ery day:' htu it doesn't
mean a thing unless we go. Xeither does it COUllt a thing for
our eternal s:,I\'atlon to say, "0, ye". I intelld 10 go to :\fass." if
we don't go. The only thing th."lt l:OUOts is the actual doing of
the hard thing and the less said the better. When God asks you
and me for a sacrifkc. He want" the real thing and nOt a sham.
and it is an insult to Him to think that He call be satisfied by
anything el~.
Let us try to make ollr promises this Lent 1111'<111 something.
let us try to do something that really hllTts, and that takes real
etTort so that we Inay pay bm'k \{l Cod in some mcasure the in­finite
-acrifice that lIt has made for \l~ and all mankind,
THE VALUE OF A FAILURE
To n41ny of our ('"ollege girls, as well as to most people in the
world there is a taint of ooi\Ltn attached to the word /"i/l/Y{'.
~erly we w<"O ~uccess through all th(' days of our life. Ina
fatlure we ShUll as the superstitious do the hlack eat. .\nd WI
failure may ohen 1Jf: a greater gain th.1n sucCC!>S if we are willir.g
to make it so, Failure may be the stinmlus that will goad a man
to greater effort, open up the unrevealed welb ill his ...oul ami
teach him his true worth. Indeed, we can remember how the
lesson of our failure in our fir~t position was Ihe means of
enabling us to retain a later and far more I'aluahle one. .\nd
;:0 it is through life--each failure has it,; rCl.'Ompense in the
I·allled experiell\.·e we gain from it, each failure rewards with laler
and fuller joys the sorrows it now bring~. e,1ch failure, in short,
if rcceiH!d in the ri~ht spirit is 1111\ anOther mng on Ihe laclder
of success,
"A tnl!)' great intel1ect is one which takes a oonne<:ted view
of old and new, past and present. far and near. and which has
an insight into the influence of all these on one another; with­out
which there is no whole and 1\0 centre, It po~se~ses the
knowledge not only of things but also of their mutual and true
relations; knowledge not merely considered as acquirement hut
as philosophy,"-John Henry Newman,
